The Carolina Panthers placed Cam Newton on injured reserve because of his slow-healing Lisfranc injury, ending his 2019 campaign. He hasn't suited up for the team since Week 2, and we could see the franchise move in a new direction at quarterback in 2020.
In Newton's absence, Carolina has won five out of six contests—three with a double-digit margin. Kyle Allen scorched the Arizona Cardinals for 261 yards and four touchdowns in his second career start. He's kept the offense viable during his time under center, but the second half of the season will determine the 23-year-old's future.
